- Baserat på en explorativ studie behandlar denna artikel frågan om utrikesfödd bakgrund, kön och ålder har någon betydelse för behovsbedömningsdokumentation inom svensk äldreomsorg. Med hjälp av kvantitativ innehållsanalys och multipel logistisk regressionsanalys av akter (n=202) innehållande utredningar (n=489) av ansökningar om välfärdstjänster, undersöker denna studie om identifikationsgrunder för äldre har någon betydelse för dokumentationspraktiker. Innehållsanalysen visade att beskrivningar i akterna av utlandsfödda äldre är mer omfattande än beskrivningarna av svenskfödda. Den multipla logistiska regressionsanalysen tyder på att kön och bakgrund verkar vara relevant för hur beslut motiverades i akterna. Ålder är inte lika relevant som de andra kategorierna. Det väsentligaste fyndet är att utlandsfödda äldre i detta material beviljas hemvårdsbidrag i större utsträckning än svenskfödda. Resultaten stöder delvis den kritiska debatten om hur klienter konstrueras i dokumentation av socialt arbete eftersom de indikerar att bakgrund, kön och ålder kan spela roll för hur äldre människors ansökningar om omsorgsinsatser behandlas i akter.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Critical Internet and media scholarship has primarily focused on contributing to theoretical debates within the field of media and communications but few empirical studies have applied this theoretical approach. This article uses data on older active ICT users’ understandings of digitisation. It draws inspiration from Boltanski’s pragmatist sociology of critique and the notion that people’s own take on their situation are fruitful sources of information in the quest for emancipation. It employs the notions of ideology, power and inclusion – which are central to critical scholarship – to make sense of older active ICT users’ understandings of digitisation. In doing so, it explores the fruitfulness of the critical lens for studies of ICT users while bringing attention to older active ICT users’ critical capacities.

The divide that older people make: age, digital technologies and meaning among older internet users
- 2014
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper builds on an on-going project that aims to contribute to the scholarly debate on the “digital divide” by bringing to fore the complexities of older people’s understandings and usage of digital technologies. Most scholarly debates on age and digital technologies, both within social gerontology and media and communication studies and within social gerontology, depart from the idea that the “digital divide” pertains mostly to the lack of access and/or skills to use the internet. From this point of view, older people are described not only as a particularly vulnerable group but also as a homogeneous group prone to exclusion. As such, they are believed to be at risk of ending up on the “disconnected” side of the divide. Although research into older people’s Internet usage patterns is rapidly growing, their understandings of digital technologies, particularly in relation to how these are informed by their understandings of aging and old age, remain unexplored. This paper is based on the analysis of focus group interviews with 30 older adults (65+) who are active Internet users. In this presentation we focus on the relationship between patterns of the everyday Internet usage and how this usage relates to the informants’ understandings of aging and old age. The analysis suggests that the debate on the digital divide fails to address the divide that older people themselves create as they discursively position themselves against non-users when describing when, how and why they engage with digital technologies.

Keeping up with the information society: how active older users negotiate inclusion and participation
- 2015
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper builds on an on-going project that aims to contribute to the scholarly debates on the “digital divide” and “digital inclusion” by bringing to fore the complexities of older people’s understandings and usage of digital technologies. Older people are often considered one of the vulnerable groups and are among the key targets of the digital inclusion policies, which tend to focus on user-centered solutions on the micro-level. The critical approach employed in this paper allows reconsidering the normative, inclusionary, micro-level foundations of digital inclusion discourses that often inform the policy. The paper builds on the analysis of focus group interviews with 30 older adults (65+) who are active internet users in Sweden, the country often considered as one of the leading IT nations worldwide. We analyze how active older users construct, reproduce and negotiate ideological notions of participation, inclusion and their privileged position of (active) users as imperatives and prerequisites of “keeping up with the (information) society”. Additionally, the analysis suggests that discourses on digital inclusion need to acknowledge the divide that older people themselves create as they discursively position themselves against non-users when describing when, how and why they engage with digital technologies.
